Java Multithreading and Parallel Programming Masterclass - Parallel Array Processing with Phasers

The video tutorial introduces phasers as a synchronization tool in Java, comparing them to cyclic barriers. It explains how phasers offer more flexibility, allowing dynamic registration and deregistration of threads. The tutorial covers key methods like 'arrive and await advance' and discusses the concept of phases. Advanced features such as bulk registration and creating phaser trees are also explored. An example application demonstrates using phasers in a map-reduce model, highlighting their practical use in synchronizing threads for operations like doubling array values and summing them.

Illustrate how a phaser can be used in a map-reduce model.
